    Hi Earl_HD , Koksoon , in this case, the issue relates to an invalid date in a text file being imported to AccountRight. Provided WPS Office can save data as a txt file, with the date in the correct format (most likely dd/mm/yyyy, eg 24/10/2023 or 01/09/2023), then there is no compatibility issue.

     

    AccountRight  uses OfficeLink to create reports in Excel, and for that, most likely only Microsoft Excel will be compatible.

     

    It's also possible that the text file has some other issue that leads to an "invalid date" message, so it would be useful to see a copy of the file being imported, and the log file created.

Hi Koksoon,

Thanks for your reply and my apologies for the late response, MYOB AccountRight Premier Version 19.16 is designed to work with Microsoft Excel. It may not be fully compatible with WPS Office Excel, which is an alternative office suite that includes a spreadsheet application similar to Microsoft Excel. MYOB AccountRight Premier is often optimized to work seamlessly with Microsoft Office products, so it's recommended to use Microsoft Excel for the best compatibility and performance with this software. 

Feel free to post again, we're happy to help!
Regards,
Earl
